Overview:
From XTRO: Project Zhukov Expanded (clan military equipment 3105 section).
As part of their ongoing efforts to integrate with the former Rasalhague Republic?s people
and military, the Ghost Bear Dominion raised several Clusters of Rasalhague MechWarriors
from second line forces into front line commands, eventually forming three full Galaxies of
volunteers and recruits from their Spheroid populace. Khan and Prince Ragnar Magnusson, in
recognition of the unity between his people and those they once saw as their enemy, ordered
the creation of a new Mech that would be a point of pride for Trueborn and Freebirth alike
and would embrace both the Bear and Rasalhague way of warfare.
As was to be expected with many Bear/Dominion blueprints, they made a large design,
partially based on the Kodiak, a fearsome 100-ton assault Mech that was popular in front and
second line forces due to its tremendous short to mid-range firepower. Many Rasalhague
MechWarriors enjoyed the brutality of close quarter combat and the Dominion was already
catering to this. Mechs like the Karhu Prime, for example, featured a huge bladed claw in
the right hand. This was recognized and then exemplified in the new Mech that would be
designated as the Cave Bear.
Capabilities:
Much like the Kodiak, the Cave Bear is built for mid to short range
combat. However, the Cave Bear?s primary focus is on melee combat. To
get it into close quarters as quickly as possible, the Mech is powered by a
huge 400 rated XL engine which can propel it up to 64kph. This then
jumps up to over 80kph when the engine?s supercharger is activated and
to over 100kph when the Mech?s triple strength myomers are activated by
high enough heat levels. This makes the Cave Bear one of, if not the
fastest Mech of its size ever made.
For firepower the Mech relies on a single ER PPC for long range
targets. At shorter ranges, a quartet of ER Medium lasers can be brought
to bare as well as a massive LB-20X autocannon which can alternately
fire massive cluster rounds at targets or more common shots to rip holes
in a target?s armour. It is in melee, however, that the Mech is a true terror.
Its hands have been reworked into massive claws, each given additional
hydraulic power and the claws themselves are tipped with industrial
diamonds for additional strength and cutting power. When the Mech?s
TSM is active, a single blow from one of the huge claw like hands can rip
a hostile Mech?s arm clean off or sunder the armour on all but the most
heavily protected Mechs. A kick can be equally as devastating.
Deployment:
Because of its focus on melee, the Mech was given over to
Rasalhague Officers and highly decorated Warriors as a sign of favour
and trust, whilst Trueborn Warriors would use Mech?s like the Kodiak II in
a similar role though, unlike the Cave Bear, the Kodiak II focused on long
range firepower. The 1st Drakøn Cluster was the first unit in the Domin-
ions Touman to receive the Cave Bear and it became an instant hit,
working well with their renowned berserker charges and their few
Berserker Mechs as well as other similar Mechs that were equipped for
melee combat, like the growing number of Karhu?s already in service.
During the invasion of the Derion Prefecture following the bombing of
the Dominion?s Blood Chapel and death of the Prince, the Cave Bear
made an immediate and very bloody introduction to the DCMS forces that
were caught up in the Dominion?s assault. On Derion, itself one Star of
Cave Bears, the five that had escorted the Khan and Prince?s body to his
final resting place were known as the Black Bears and were greatly
feared by Combine troops. Painted a solid matte black with red highlights
on their Mech?s claws and around their eyes, the Black Bear?s ripped
through Combine tanks, mech?s and fortifications, as well as literally
decapitating several Combine Mech units in headhunter attacks on unit
commanders.
Some of the Dominion?s oldest and more hidebound traditionalists did
grumble about the resources spent on the Cave Bear, but its
performance in battle silenced any criticism and the Dominion has taken
great steps to ensure that no Cave Bear is taken as a prize by hostile
forces. Neither have any been offered up for trade. Being assigned a
Cave Bear is a decision that comes all the way from the Dominion?s
military command and is not something given out lightly. A Warrior?s
record is reviewed and checked to make sure that he or she is not only a
superbfighter, but one who fights and conducts themselves with honour
and humility. And, once assigned, a Cave Bear cannot be claimed in a
Trial of Possession by another Warrior, only through a Trial of Position
that is given consent by the Galaxy Commander may such a battle be
fought.
